Adding files from a Dropbox link to my account.
This is a feature of Dropbox called "Copy to Dropbox". Please see this image I am wondering if there is any API that allows me to do this? Once the customer enters the URL link into the input, ...
johnvu93 The Dropbox API doesn't offer a way to copy a folder from a shared link into a connected Dropbox account via the API like the "Copy to Dropbox" feature of the shared link page, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if/when that might be implemented though. (The Dropbox API does offer /2/files/save_url which works with Dropbox shared links, but that only supports files, not folders.)
Hi johnvu93,
To be honest, I'm not sure fully understand your scenario, but as far as I can see /2/files/get_temporary_upload_link would work much better for you. In such a case you don't need to proxying upload process, but only manage it. Files themself get upload from user browser directly to Dropbox server. Once the files are there, you can easy create shared link and embed it (or to use embedder). Does it, or not? 🧐
Hi Здравко,
My script would be like this.
Assuming you send me 100 images via Dropbox links. I need an API to automatically add those images to my account. Not download the files.
